There are several methods for removing a varnish stain from clothing, from natural solutions to specific products sold commercially. Depending on the type of clothing, the size of the stain and its color, certain techniques will be more suitable than others. In this article, Maryton will explain everything to you. Read on!
Use acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover
Acetone is a powerful solvent which generally allows you to remove varnish stains without too much difficulty. However, keep in mind that it can damage certain textiles, so it is important to test on a small, inconspicuous part of the garment before treating the stain.
- Soak a cotton pad or clean cloth with a few drops of acetone or non-acetone nail polish remover.
- Gently dab the varnish stain from the edge towards the center to avoid spreading it.
- Change cotton or cloth regularly to avoid putting varnish back on the garment.
- Pat dry with a clean, dry cloth.
Remember to rinse the garment well with clean water after this operation to remove any residue of acetone or nail polish remover.
Remove varnish with household alcohol
Household alcohol is an effective, inexpensive and easy to find stain remover. It allows you to remove varnish stains without damaging the textile. Here’s how to do it:
- Pour a few drops of household alcohol onto a cotton pad or clean cloth.
- Gently dab the varnish stain.
- Repeat the operation until the stain disappears.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any alcohol residue.
Use a stain remover spray designed for varnish stains
There are specific stain remover sprays on the market for varnish stains. These products are often very effective, but can be more expensive than the natural solutions mentioned previously.
- Apply the stain remover spray directly to the varnish stain following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Leave to act for a few minutes.
- Rinse with clean water to remove the product and varnish residue.
